Feels like a pointless rant. Now retired, I have been laid off 3 times in my career and the UK mandated employer support I got was very important to me with a family to support and a mortgage to pay. Am I to compare that to not having a "Tesla"?

The point seems to rather be that European economy could have a better outlook if the labor market was more efficient. Not that safety nets should be cut.
